Mobile App & Platform Design

CREATING RELEVANCE SHROUDED IN TRANSPARENCY
A mobile app to encourage users to securely and clearly communicate immediate needs. Designed to promote a platform that allows people to be transparent about who they are so they may be rewarded with relevant content in exchange.

Mapping New Territory for a Classic Game

Strategic Creative Consultation, Conceptualization & Evangelism

Geocaching is a high-tech adventure game with two million containers hidden around in the world.

Working closely with the executive and senior management team, I helped identify the fundamentals for the much needed expansion of the game targeted for the next generation audience. Focusing on holistic experience design and shifting the organization’s mindset through internal evangelism with the creative and development teams, I set the direction of a new mobile app design and the overarching game experience.

Mass (Data) Appeal

UX Strategy & Data Visualization

MAKING TRAVEL COST ANALYSIS MORE FUN
Working with a talented set of business analysts, statistics experts, and a handful of innovative ASP/Flex/.Net developers, I created a UX solution around filtering massive amounts of data in a matter of seconds. The design offers data in a beautiful, easy-to-use, touch friendly manner which inspired adjustments for lateral products.
